The quoted text is taken from the game's briefing "Gamma Draconis is a remote, uninhabited system discovered shortly before the outbreak of the Great War. The system has no planets and no viable resources. The GTSC Erikson visited the system 15 years ago and reported nothing out of the ordinary. "Recon flights in Gamma Draconis detected activity near an uncharted jump node. Closer examination has revealed this node is not a natural phenomenon but a massive subspace portal of unknown origin. "We do not know why the Erikson failed to detect the portal when it last visited the system. This device may have been inactive and therefore invisible to long-range sensors, or it may be of recent construction." The portal, designated Knossos (pronounced with long O's and unvoiced S's), leads to a nebula, where a Shivan presence has been found. Also, deep within a Shivan-controlled zone, the nebula also harbours another Knossos portal, which leads also to another star system with a heavy Shivan presence. And even that star system has another Knossos portal. There could be many more portals, dispersed throughout the galaxy, leading to more systems with more Shivans. Gamma Draconis was later classified as an enemy system soon after the Shivans moved their juggernaut fleet into Capella via Gamma Draconis. After the nodes to Capella were collapsed, Capella, Gamma Draconis, and the systems beyond were completely isolated from the rest of the GTVA. |
